Black-laced pullet eye injury

[aembry1]

My black-laced pullet is quite a bit smaller than the other pullets. They are 12 weeks old. At first she was growing at the same rate as the other pullets, but doesn't seem to be so now. She eats quite a bit. Today I noticed one of her eyes doesn't look right either. She doesn't seem lethargic. She gets along with the other birds fine. None of the other birds have any problems with their eyes. I don't know if maybe the eye thing is from pecking from the other birds, establishing pecking order. Because of her smaller size her name is Squirt. Squirt eats, and eats quite a bit. She eats crumble feed along with some meal worms and some lettuce or a little bit of watermelon or cantaloupe. She drinks plenty as well. I give her plenty of water, and since it has been rather hot here I give the girls fresh water throughout the day with electrolytes. Her poop is normal looking. I haven't given her any treatment yet for her eye because I don't know what to do. I have included pictures below. Also, the bedding that I use is pine bedding. It has just rained, so that is why she looks wet because they didn't go inside their coop. I did a close up of her eye so you could see better what I am seeing. Any information from you guys would be a great help for me. Thank you in advance!

The bubbles in the eye and swelling could be a sign of MG (mycoplasma,) a chronic respiratory disease. You can clean the eye with saline eye wash twice a day and apply either Terramycin ointment or plain Triple Antibiotic Ointment into the eye twice daily. Here is some info about MG:

Should I separate her from the other chickens?

She may need to be separated for a couple of days to keep a close eye on her, and to medicate her. Tylosin can be ordered online to treat her water for 5 days here:
